The Flammulated Owl Project is a Summer Collaborative Research Project headed by Professor of Organismal Biology & Ecology Brian Linkhart — the foremost, if not the only, flammulated owl expert in the world — and his dedicated "Flam Crew" — Colorado College students who spend the summer living in the Manitou Experimental Forest researching the effects of climate change on breeding flammulated owls.

This research is a continuation of Linkhart's work as an undergraduate student, making the 40-year study the longest, most in-depth study of the birds worldwide. Colorado College students have been involved in the project since the summer of 2002.

Summer doesn't equal vacation for CC students! We study abroad, volunteer—and make videos in Singapore, like Esther Chan '16. Between eating street food and learning Singlish, she's sharing her life with us through a new webseries. New episodes every Wednesday in July.
